an architect quite alot if he owns his own firm. an average mid rise building project could earn him about RM2million. such project usually span about 12-18 months. that's about RM100k per month, if he doesnt have to pay his employers .

but i should point out, like every other job, not everyone will get the opportunity to earn that much.

doctors get how much salary per month?what about dentistrysimply do a tooth got at least rm80an easy work that not taken half an hour

good money doesnt come easy.

get a career that interest you the most. the bigger the responsibility and stress, the better the return in term of satisfaction of work and monetary. even if you studied medical and work as a doctor, but if you are not enjoying the profession or the career pathway, you will not succeed nor getting good money.

identist, yes they get good amount of money, but they have to see bad teeth (from children to the frail elderly) for the whole of their life. that alone is not easy at all.

im not Discriminating against their working abilityi was just mean that they can do their work EFFICIENTLY

Added on October 15, 2008, 1:19 ami heard that pharmacist could earn at least rm5000dunno its true o not

pharmacist basic salary start with at least rm3.5k monthly during their services with the government.

6k to 12k monthly for a position of pharmacist cum pharmacy manager in retail pharmacy business. even way higher if in industrial sector (depending on the position held) and pharmaceutical business or high management level.

and yes pharmacist get steady good pay even after just graduated compare to a lot of other profession, but by overall they are not among the top earner compare to CEO, doctor, successful entrepreneur, some architect as mentioned by azarimy above and etc etc.

in hospital , some doctor see genital of same sex,means male doctor check male patient d***. (most of em are old citizens)

i been check my b4 when i was in primary school , and saw few older pplp wan check oso.

but being a politician is not an easy job too.you need to contribute ur time and ur hard work into it in order to get something bck in return. another thing would be, some of the politician get to stay in a mansion is because of bribing.thats not good to the country at all.

which is why usually we just limit the question to "how much does a fresh grad earns for a particular field?". it's easier to gauge this bcoz there arent many variables.

for highest paying job, there are lots of variables, some like what limeuu said. others could vary, for example jobs that require youth like modelling. u know the highest pay would be around 23-27 years old, then if u might be able to maintain that till u're 30. 35 if u're lucky. but for an architect, u will only get the highest pay usually after u're 55. fortunately the expiry date for an architect is death.

so based on the example above, at 27, a model might get paid RM8k per month, while an architect would probably earn RM3.5k. assuming the model did not venture into anything else, he would probably earn RM6k at 50, while the architect would earn RM15k per month.

i heard neurosurgeons in private practice earn abt RM 300k per month, but not all the drs can get there lar.

It was published on "The New York Times" before about the 10 best paid jobs in America (also published on "The Star" several weeks later). Among the 10 listed are lawyer and doctor and lawyer was listed in a higher position than doctor in that list. If my memory serves me correctly, doctor is in the 10th place while the top 5 are mostly those working in a bank/investment bank.

abt rm3.5-3.8k + allowances for the first 4 years with government. after that, you can choose to work in retail pharmacy, usually rm6k-10k per month.

way better than most fresh graduates, but the cut-off and threshold is early too, unless you do your own business, or held a position at managerial level in retail pharmacy business or pharmaceutical industry.

even better, go overseas e.g. uk and work there. the salary of even a fresh pharmacist in community is among 15% of the top earners.

legally bank rules the marketno bank no loan..no loan no car no hse no money for investment=economic recessionhow bout commercial airplane pilot?there is once my fren mba lecturer said work for goverment sector for fresh grad to get portfolio which can get u higher paid job after u change to cooperate company in long term

I think your question needs to consider statistical distribution of pay for that industry, thus in order to answer your question, you should first set a threshold of say, RM10k/month, and see which career has higher statistical probability of reaching that threshold.

Otherwise, the present question fails to answer any part on the likelihood (probability) of achieving the prior mentioned top of the salary curve. Which, for normal, average citizens such as ourselves, we are most unlikely to be at the top of the game. Thus, on this assumption, the more relevant question is, which career or job will result in the highest likelihood of achieving a target pay.

Perhaps, say, 5% of accountants make more than RM10k, but 15% of doctors make more than RM10k, so by the same argument, you should be a doctor. (only an example, please substitute real life figures into the above arguments)

--

Subsequently, you should also consider the cost of investment to incoming cashflow on such career choices.

e.g.

A medical degree will cost RM100k per year for the first 5 years, whereas an accountancy degree will cost RM10k per year for the first 3 years. Assuming an inflation rate of 5% and you can finance both projects, but the both projects are mutually exclusive.

A medical degree, a doctor has a yearly cash inflow, (Net of tax) of RM100k, on an increasing by 5% (real rate of increase, aka net of inflation) every year. So using the annuity formula, assuming you will retire at 55, and you being your work career at 25, you expect to have positive cashflow for 30 years.

On the other hand, an accountant will have a yearly cash inflow of 40k, increasing 10% a year, and you will start work at 22, giving you a useful life of 33 years.

You can input both these 'projects' into an excel spreadsheet, discounting their future cashflows by inflation. Whichever project that results in the highest net present value should be your choice of studies.

In order to consider how worth a career choice is, in order the derive an expected cashflow on that career, we must first predict the supply-demand curve for that career throughout a person's working life. On the assumption that if everyone suddenly chooses to do something other than IT engineering, it will leave a niche to exploit, resulting in a temporary monopoly or a very tight supply, resulting in quickly escalating salary for a short period of time (similar to fluctuations in oil prices as a result of very minor supply differences). Under such circumstances, the NPV of IT engineers are in fact very much higher.

But I think to become what in your life is up to you to decide and dont other decide for you or you will regret it.

Highest pay job I think in Malaysia is our PM. lolx. No matter what you do.. you can't reach him. Hehe

In order to evaluate the PM position, it is apparent that this is a high risk project. So, our ordinary method of discounting and applicable interest rates are invalid.

To adequately 'value' PM as a project, we operate on Rm = Rf + B*Rp, where Rf is the risk-free rate, Rp = return paid by the market for such similar risks, and B = the beta on such a project, aka the variability of the cashflows for the said industry. Given the risk, an adequate beta would be 25 times the market, as the expected product lifecycle of this project is inherently unstable and tied to the political mood of the nation.

Thus, if the market pays 3% for every B, we are looking at a discounting rate of 78%, which is reasonable, because any income derived from PM as a project is likely to be 'taxed' by wedding invitations, crony-feeding, open houses and so on. (so assume the 78% as the interest cost charged on the outflow required to be PM, as the position requires the financial backing of various entities)

However, given how limited the cashflows of the PM project is in the present political climate, I would conclude that the PM project is not worthwhile because it's unlikely to recover the cost of getting the project going, and the long 'development' period attached with it.

I'm going in Visualization and hopefully this will excel my career prospect and gains.

Prostitute. 20 Minutes makes 300. Working 1 day 8 hours RM7200.Just need to be a bit pretty and also a lot of strength. 25 days a month RM180,000.00. No need experience, education and so on.

Annual income: 2.16 Million Ringgit! Work a year, open business, sell chicken and retire.

Yes that if you don't have to deal with the "papasan"..if not then you have to give your "papasan" 95% of your income...you will get 5% only...that's consider lucky enough.other wise what you will get is an apartment which is sharing with 10 people and eat 3x a day.

if i have all the relevent subjects needed for the qualification ,pharmacist,EXCEPT biology, can i still be a pharmachist?

imagine, a newly graduated pilot working in mas or airasia as a junior co-pilots earns an average of 7-9k.... being only 20-22yrs old. after 10 yrs into the job you will earn around 20k as a senior co-pilot or junior captain. spoke to a very senior captain in mas, he earns more then 40k a month. even airasia captains flying airbus320 is earning 30k a month. most of them are only in their 30-40yrs old.......

Prime Minister of SINGAPORE. Lee has the highest salary among the PMs in the world.If talking about salary only our PM doesn't get too high, don't know any side income or not By the way, salary of CEOs in Malaysia also not that high. But they tend to have stock option, bonus, share, etc. to back their financial status.Like Uncle Lim the Second of Genting or Tony of AirAsia, their wealth doesn't really come from their salary as the CEO of their company.

I didn't know AirAsia pays a handsome salary to pilots... be sure to go for SIA if you're qualified.

eggyolk>> Not necessarily. There's a lot more high paying jobs than you know... Skin specialist doctor (esp famous ones) can easily rake a five-figure salary per month.

sweet_pez: I beg to differ. Yes skin specialist do earn 5 figure. But when you compare annual salary+ bonus. This two item is enough to tell you that CEO earns big time than a skin specialist. Of course I am talking about CEO in big company. Not any Tom, d*** & Harry company.

Most AK pilots i talk to earn more than MAS.SIA needs A levels rather than SPM/O levels for cadets. So if you want fast, you will try to go in MAS/AK/private before jumping over to SIA which many people do.

More than a decade ago, HSBC's international mgt trainee program was offering 3K basic plus 800 housing allowance to fresh graduates. The downside was that this was the std non-negotiable entry salary into the program, even if you were not a fresh graduate and had experience.

not really..... mas up their pay already.... now its way higher then AK...... malaysians cant work for SIA already... new ruling.....

I don't know what is the highest pay job but I sure know the CEO of Economy Rice Inc is making damn a lot; my ex-neighbour, early 30s, moved in to Desa park city after buying a new CRV and renovated old house for sale.
